Children's Bible

<h3>THE RIGHT USE OF THE TONGUE</h3> <div class='poem2'> Do you see a man who speaks before he thinks?<br/> There is more hope for a fool than for him.<br/> He who answers before he hears<br/> Covers himself with confusion.<br/> <br/> He who is sparing of words has knowledge,<br/> And he who has a cool spirit is a man of sense.<br/> Even a fool, if he keeps still, is considered wise;<br/> Prudent, if he keeps his lips shut.<br/> <br/> He who guards his mouth and tongue<br/> Guards himself against trouble.<br/> Life and death are in the power of the tongue;<br/> They who are fond of using it must eat its fruit.<br/> <br/> A man has joy from the utterance of his mouth,<br/> And a word in season, how good it is!<br/> A word fitly spoken<br/> Is like golden fruit in silver settings.<br/> Pleasant words are like honeycomb,<br/> Sweet to the taste and healing to the body.<br/></div> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
